What is the primary leadership goal for a Facility Manager?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The primary leadership goal for a Facility Manager is to help clients and customers succeed (Option B).

Why Option B is Correct?

Facility Managers (FMs) play a strategic role in aligning facility operations with business success.

They must ensure the built environment supports productivity, safety, and efficiency for all stakeholders.

IFMA's Leadership & Strategy Core Competency states that FM professionals should focus on how facility management contributes to business and client success.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option A (See the big picture): While strategic thinking is important, the goal of leadership is to drive results for clients and stakeholders.

Option C (Be the go-to person for FM issues): Being a knowledge expert is valuable, but leadership extends beyond technical expertise to driving organizational success.


IFMA Core Competency: Leadership & Strategy -- Focus on delivering value to clients and customers.
